We once had a tabby, an intact male, who came to us as a rescued
kitten and grew up with dogs in the house. He learned very well how to
handle himself with dogs in general and they learned to give him a
wide berth.

Wondering if that was the family dog because Mom didn't stick around
to comfort the kid - she high tailed it off screen going after
something.

The mother said it was the neighbor's dog. I think she was high tailing
it over to the neighbor's house to tell them what happened. She took
the boy to the hospital where he got stitches. The dog is now "under
observation", which sure sounds like they aren't getting that dog back.

I do not understand people who let their animals run loose. That
includes cats, although in this case I'm glad the cat was outside.

The original video I saw was from CNN, not TMZ. The news story said the
dog belonged to the next door neighbor. They showed the boy (bites?
scratches from being dragged off his bicycle? I couldn't really tell)
with stitches. The dog was taken away, presumeably by animal control.

I have never been interested in cats as house pets but have spent enough
time on farms and living in the country to appreciate their role in
rodent control. I used to spend a lot of time at a friend's farm and
they had a big mean tom cat named Willie. No one and no animal in their
right mind messed with Willy. We was tame enough to let into the house
and new better than to get up on the table or counters, but if food fell
on the floor when Willy was around you would be risking serious injury
to try to recover it.

It is hard to tell from the video because she did head off in the
direction that the dog had gone. For all you can tell from the video it
could have just be playfulness, though much to rough, and family dog and
cat might explain why the cat ran in and dog ran off. However..... when
you read the article and see the damage it is a different story.

I chose TMZ cuz it didn't link to youtube, which has a block on the
vid unless yer a registered user. I also didn't use the one I first
witnessed cuz it was a long URL and we all know how much you folks
love to snivel about those. So, here it is, video by Kero (?) which
also shows the unstitched wounds in all their gruesome glory:

It seems it was not allowed to run loose but made it's escape when the
neighbour left his gated yard. The only animal there that was allowed
to run loose was the cat. I can appreciate the escaping dog issue. My
hound from hell rescue Malinois is untrainable. I can not trust him. If
the door is left open he will bolt and take off on me. He will come back
some time later, when he is ready to come back. He will have had a great
time and try to tell me all about it. But... if someone were to walk by
with a dog.... all hell could break loose.

See the actual news story from CNN:

The dog belonged to a neighbor. After checking on little boy she
undoubtedly ran next door to make sure they knew what happened.

She [the mother] told KGET the dog continued to hang around and also bit
her as she tried to chase it off.

Sure, I can understand a dog can escape a fenced yard. It happens.

That dog was clearly UNprovoked. It was the aggressor. The little boy
was on the other side of the car, minding his own business in his own yard.

Maybe. What we don't know is if the kid usually throws stones at the dog
or pokes it through the fence with a stick. We saw a very small portion
of life of that street.

This is true. Another article did say the child is mildly autistic. He
might not know how to relate to the dog behind the fence. Or to the
family cat, for that matter.

I do think the cat reacted well to the impending danger to that little
boy. Not to over anthropomorphize but the cat certainly seemed to be
protecting a member of her family.

Has anyone said why there are multiple camera angles?

Strange, I'd hate to think this was staged.

Bakersfield. I read about it on another site and it said the dog was
euthanized. You should have seen the injuries to the boy, they were really
bad.

Because the owners had several security cameras. It was all over the news and NBC and several other stations interviewed the parents.

We can do away with the court system and just have you hand out justice
based on some half stories. Save a lot of time and money that way.

Not everyone treats the family pet and the neighbor's pet the same way.

Sort of wondered the same thing. Supposedly it was security cameras on
the house. I can see having a couple of them set up for full coverage.
Looked like decent quality video too.

Home surveillance cameras set up around the cat owners house. I guess
it's not a very safe neighborhood?

Old Yeller is the first movie I remember going. Maybe it was the first
colour movie I was taken to. It could be that it was just the first one
I remember. I was only 6 when it came out.

Another good reference to that movie was in Soap. Someone who had
drooled was described as looking like Old Yeller just before they shot him.

I had assumed that they were security cameras, but I I won't deny the
possibility that it was faked. Remember this one where the eagle
snatched a baby..... faked.

I don't think the cat was trying to be heroic nor was it saving it's
"loved ones" from harm. Mostly, it was trying to protect it's
territory/property. My cat will stare down the neighbor's big dog when
he comes into the house with no problem. It freaks the dog out. OTOH,
Sniffles is kind of chicken when it comes to venturing out of our front
door.
